    Samwise Gamgee. The true hero of LoTR. “I can’t carry it for you Mr.Frodo. But I can carry you!” Gets me every time.

    Easily, Frodo Baggins. The strongest, bravest, and most noble of hobbits.

      Really? Not to knock on Frodo, I mean good on him for saving Middle Earth and all, but, he’s a bit dull and whiney.

    Donna Noble- specifically The Doctor Donna. Not like it’s obvious or anything though.

    Tough call, but I’m going to go with Wayne from Brandon Sanderson’s Wax and Wayne trilogy.

      Wax and Wayne is now four books. Wayne is probably my favorite of his characters. I love Mat and Nynaeve, too- Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time (for those who may not know).

        Yeah you’re right. I have read the most recent one, I just miscounted.

        I quite like Mat too, but never could get behind Nynaeve as a character. All the Aes Sedai, even the young ones, seem to have this attitude of “I know everything so I’m closed off to new information” which is infuriating to me. Egwene and Elayne outgrow that somewhat by the end, but less so Nynaeve.

          Interesting, because I thought Nynaeve had some of the most and best character growth in the series. But differences make the world go round, IDIC and all. :)

    DEATH from the Discworld Series. One of the most comforting, most human depictions of the “Grim Reaper” I ever read about.

    Probably Jerome, from Three Men in a Boat. I wish I could be perfectly eloquent and poetic without losing my childish sense of humour.

    I was obsessed with Long John Silver as a child, but I think I might enjoy the character of Captain Ahab more nowadays. I guess I have a thing for flawed maritime literary characters
